It's The Falling in Love

Chapter Forty-Two

Michael's eyes widened as he slowly backed away from me.

He stared at me, slowly sitting down in his chair as he took all the information in.

"I'm no monster, Michael. Y-You don't have to afraid o-"

"How long have you known?" Michael asked, his voice wobbling.

I sighed, "M-Michael I have to confess to you about something." I said, sitting beside him.

Michael stared at me in disbelief.

"The day Mike died.. T-The reason Kevin did that wasn't because I found out I was pregnant." I slowly said.

"In fact, Kevin doesn't even know I'm pregnant." I shook my head.

Michael didn't say anything, he sat there speechless.

I frowned, "Kevin did that to Mike because.." I felt myself choke up some more.

"B-Because I accused Kevin of sleeping around and having an STD. I know Kevin did this to me b-because I never slept around when I was with him all that time we were together." I said, tears started falling from my eyes.

Michael furrowed his eyebrows, tears slowly fell from his eyes. "No, Mia.. Y-You did this to yourself." He said.

I stared at him, feeling stabbed at his words. "You think I wanted this Michael? Because I have this.. This disease it means my baby could be affected too!" I raised my voice.

"I-I don't want my baby to die, Michael!" I cried.

Michael took in a sharp breath of air, "Your baby could die?" He softly said, whimpering.

I slowly nodded, "That's why Debbie is here... She's going to give me the medication I need. Um.." I looked down to the ground.

"S-She's giving me the medication that doctors give AIDS patients with pneumonia." I quietly said, rubbing my hands together.

"Mia, do you have AIDS?" Michael whispered, more tears fell.

I shook my head, "No, no, Michael! I-The doctors said t-that I-I have a better chance o-of getting AIDS.." I softly said, my voice shaking.

Michael gulped, "Why are you telling me this now? It's been a while since Mike left us.." He lowly said, not looking at me.

I sighed, "Michael, I was waiting for when the time felt right. A-And right now I did because you were acting so... So sexually with me." I explained.

Michael's head snapped towards my direction, "Was I making you that uncomfortable?" He shyly asked.

I shook my head, "No, Michael.." I let out a soft chuckle.

"Michael, I can kiss people. Just.. Nothing intimate." I slowly said.

Michael slowly nodded.

"I didn't want to kiss and tell you that I was dying from this disea-"

Michael's lip started to quiver, "Don't say dying, Mia. Please, please don't say dying." He softly cried.

I loudly sighed, "Michael, it's the truth. I-"

Michael pulled me close to him as he started sobbing on my shoulder. "You are not going to die, do you hear me? I'm not letting you go. You're all I have.." He sobbed.

My eyes widened as I rubbed his back. "I'm not the only one, Michael. You have your family, Elizabeth, Whitney, everyone. You don't need me, sugar." I smirked.

Michael held onto me tighter, "My gosh, Mia! I do need you! M-Mia-" Michael let go of me as he looked me in the eyes.

"I-I love you.. Please stay with me..You're the only girl I truly need." Michael softly cried.
